#Dry Cleaning Sign to 4AD, Share New Song “Scratchcard Lanyard”: Listen

Dry Cleaning—the London-based quartet of drummer Nick Buxton, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and vocalist Florence Shaw—have signed to 4AD and shared their first new song for the label. The track is called “Scratchcard Lanyard” and it arrives with a new music video directed by Rottingdean Bazaar. The new single follows Dry Cleaning’s 2019 EPs Sweet Princess and Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks.

“In the search for your true calling in life, it’s easy to try so many things that you end up confused,” Dry Cleaning said in a statement. “It can lead to an enormous build-up of frustration. You may fantasise about exacting revenge upon your real or imagined enemies. Ephemeral things and small-scale escapist experiences can provide some relief!”
